Lysis of intrauterine adhesions using gynecoradiologic techniques.
To present further experience with in-office lysis of intrauterine adhesions under fluoroscopic control using a specially designed catheter. ⋯ In-office lysis of intrauterine adhesions under gynecoradiologic control can be carried out safely in the majority of patients, using minimally invasive techniques. The potential cost savings in comparison with endoscopic procedures, which require utilization of expensive operating room time, are especially relevant in today's cost-conscious managed care environment. Only failures of in-office procedures would reach the operating room under the algorithm proposed here.
